Cohes ' Conference of California potato srrow ers with Oreeon official, growers and dealers is planned for this city, but no defialte date has been set as yet.. That many California interests are willing to meet the views of this state for the protection of the Oregon potato industry, is Indicated by recent advices from the south. Reports indicate that President Parks of the state board of horticulture has been investiajatins; the California potato situation personally , and has decided that a meeting- at Portland would solve the present strained relations between the potato Interests of th two states. There is ! no desire on the part of Or (con to shut California potatoes out of this market providing- they are not infected with the tuber moth, although that appears to be , the usual plan of California when it wants to eliminate competition from other states. All that this state desires is that the potato industry be protected, against the most dreaded of potato insects. This protection will be given whether Cali fornia interests agree to it or not. YAKIMA SHEEP OWNERS I TLV A WAGE T1CTORT Yakima, April 29. Yakima sheepmen have won a complete victory over tna sheep Shearer union, here by bringing in (hearers from Oregon and Idaho to take contracts on the basis of 12 H cents a bead when the local union held to- a minimum of 15 cants and a slidinc soi up to 1 8 and 20 cents. Both hand and ma chine crews were brought in from the outside and' local shearers have bad nothing to do but an occassional short job. With the season now half gone members of the union, are deserting; it to accept contract at the lower rate. Some are holding out for the old rata nominally, but majting concession on board and supplies that revuiy uawu to toe earne- tning. SWIFT A CO. GETS OLD HAZELW0OD CREAM STATION Brownsville. Or..

Locally the trade is quiet with country interests much more inclined to hold again for higher values. Pacific Northwest wheat purchases at coun try points are showing a marked decrease owing to the lack of deair to let go while prices are advancing. Millers and grain exporters were at sea during the day as to the canae of the burst of strength early in tbe dsy but believed the rise due to poorer crops abroad and the desire to take on additional stock of American grain for protec tion. There aaem to be so doubt that Europe is today not only purchasing American wheat for immediate requirements, but is buying for next seasbn because of the expectation of better prices tnen than now. Flour market is extremely -quiet for both patent and bakers and milhrtuHs are onensngea.

Sl.200 CHEESE PRICE IS CUT IN A FIGHT FRIDAY CHEESE MARKET Portlaad ............. . . ,. .te Chicago litte Sw York tie Saa Francisco lSe Cheese prices are being cut to 20c per pound or even less at .Northwest producing; centers w-ith the exception of Tillamook. ' The latter is still asking 22c a pound but indications point to a further decline within 'the lmmedate future. With tbe output of cheese increasing rapidly and 'with the eastern market down to bedrock, prices on the coast have been so far out of line with other American centers that Atlantic coast product is comina- forward in carload lots. While nothing definite has been made public by the organization, tbe trad reports that tht Dairymen' League is offering it best triplets to the Portland trade at 20c a pound, delivered here, and that one of the Western Washington makers has out the price to 19c Portland. These prices for cheese are somewhat below the values that ruled hut previous to the war. indicating that the market will finally settle upon the lowest values for a number of years. This Is likely to be especially true of Oregon where there is a fight on between two organiza tions for control of the trade. This will in turn affect the entire coast trade. 0-W.

The largrest steamer which has yet entered Willapa harbor Is loading at the wharf of "the Willapa Lumber Co. for . New York city, i She is the Captain Henry of the Atlantic Gulf A Pacific- S. S., be ing one of nine vessels of that line, and it is expected that about one vessel of this line will load here every month. She will take on about 2,000.000 feet of rough lumber and lath and shingles here and finish loading in San Francisco It marks the opening of a new market for green lumber and gradese Of Pacific coast lumber which rail rates have kept out of the market on the Atlantic coast. The freight rate through the Panama canal by these lumber carriers is about $15 per 1000 feet, and at this rate the lumber can be shipped by rail as far west as Pittsburg and as far south as the Ohio river and compete with south ern pine. The advent of this steamer is' doubly important 7 to Willapa Harbor, as it demonstrates that the large ocean car riers can make this harbor and also that it gives the mills of the harbor an outlet for the rough lumber. The steamer Is 2Vk years old and was built at Sparrows point, Baltimore. Captain Bekman Is her master. Harbor Bill Defeated Sacramento, CaL, April 29. I. N. S.)
